Valve snapped its fingers once again to initiate a ban wave in Dota 2 today, and Overplus users were on the receiving end this time. This third-party software was under fire throughout 2023 by community members, as it allowed players to have unfair advantages in ranked games.
Though many Dota 2 fans criticized the app over the years, Valve previously had a gray approach to the matter, causing Overplus to cross the line. With the developer remaining passive, Overplus continued accessing player data that Valve discontinued for third-party apps. Valve struck unexpectedly to make up for years of lost time, and it’s currently impossible to tell how many players were banned.
